tpo 23 the declining of the yellow cedar trees
The material discusses the reasons for declining the yellow cedar tree. While the reading suggests several hypotheses to explain this decline, the listening challenges this and mentions that we still do not know what is the exact reason for killing the yellow cedar.
First, the author states that the yellow cedars were declined because of the cedar bark beetle. On the other hand, the professor opposes this and posits that healthy cedar trees are much more resistant to insects. The lecturer explains that the trees' bark and leaves have a powerful chemical that poison beetles. Furthermore, the speaker says that insects could just attack just dead or damaged trees, so they are not the fundamental cause of declining.
Second, the writer points out that bears could contribute to killing cedar trees. On the contrary, the professor refutes this and states that bears could damage cedar trees, but they are not the main reason for trees' declining. The lecturer explains that cedar trees declined in mainland and island; however, there are no bears on the island. The speaker mentions that if declining happened with and without bears, so they are not the reason for declining.
Third, the reading states that declining happened because of the freezing weather. Conversely, the professor contradicts this and contends that there is one fact the reading does not recognize, which is the declining happened more in the lower elevation which is warm than the higher elevation which is cold. The lecturer adds, if the freezing weather is the reason, so the decline should happen more in the higher elevation. The speaker states that although the freezing weather makes roots more sensitive, this is not what kills trees.
